“Michael [Waddell] is the real McCoy. Down to earth, clever, genuine, well-grounded, funny as all hell, kind, generous, decent, and surely one of the best natural hunters and woodsmen that I have ever grilled a sacred backstrap with.” —Ted Nugent

From hunting legend Michael Waddell, star of multiple Outdoor Channel programs, comes a poignant and funny book about growing up in rural Georgia: Hunting Booger Bottom. Waddell offers priceless anecdotes from his lifetime of hunting with the fascinating—and often hilarious—cast of characters he’s met along the way. Breathtaking and dramatic, filled with practical advice and indelible folk wisdom—and a foreword by Ted Nugent—Hunting Booger Bottom offers an impassioned defense of sport hunting and is a must-read for anyone who has ever wandered the woods with “a stick and a string” (as Waddell refers to his bow.)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

A star host on the Outdoor Channel, Waddell talks about hunting and his memorable hunts in this anecdotal account. A Georgia native, Waddell explains that his title hails from a creek bottom where he was taught to handle guns by his father. Fond recollections of learning to shoot wild turkeys precede Waddell’s story about how he attained his high profile in the outdoors industry. Noticed in turkey-calling competitions, Waddell was tapped by a clothing outfitter to endorse their products, which led him into video production of hunting trips. Recounting his adventures carrying camera, gun, and bow and arrow, Waddell explains his hunting techniques and also provides an answer to nonhunters’ questions on what hunting is all about. Acknowledging that hunting involves being outside in great places with good buddies, he doesn’t pretend that the sport is only about nature and friendship: hunters kill animals, he declares. Direct and personable. An engaging depiction of the hunting world. --Gilbert Taylor

Review

“Direct and personable, Waddell’s character comes through in this engaging depiction of the hunting world.”

    Everyone who loves hunting and being in the woods should buy this book. Lots of knowledge, insight to Michael's upbringing and life, and laughter. This is a book written as if your sitting down at home or camp talking to Michael Waddell, it don't get any planer than that. Who say's you have to be so technical with wind direction, bow set up's and such. Just do what Michael does, keep your ears open to learn, pass it on, and for goodness sakes get out and hunt.

    If you are a fan of the TV hunting personality, Michael Waddell, then you will enjoy this book. Michael's voice and personality shine as he recollects his early years of hunting in Georgia's Booger Bottom to his present day travels of hunting around the globe. The behind the scenes commentary of televised hunts are entertaining and display the "fun factor" that Michael seeks out with whomever he is hunting with which includes Bill Jordan, David Blanton, Ted Nugent, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Rhett Akiins and more. Take a copy to camp and share with your pals, afterall Michael is all about hunting camp friendships.
